@Thrively FINDS Your Kid(s) Passion and Strengths – #DadChat #Giveaways #Back2School

I finally “got lucky” when my boys did find their passions. It sure would have been easier had I had Thrively.com. We have “Teach” aka Angela Maiers with us for a Back2School night at #DadChat this Thursday August 7, from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. PT/9:00 – 10:00 p.m. ET.
